Gear Review: Chaos Adrenaline Multi-Tasker Pro Balaclava

A full-face balaclava

[favorite balaclava]

Too often, balaclavas are shapeless, saggy things that flop around and inhibit breathing. The Adrenaline—made with a poly-wool blend for good wicking, insulation, and stretch—is a welcome change. The key is a paneled design—with a strip of Lycra around the face for a tight seal—that enhances fit and makes it a cinch to pull the Adrenaline up over your nose, or down under your chin as a gaiter.
